NBC News: Five myths about the Honduran Caravan Debunked
NBSEE News ^ | 1-22-2018 | Julia Ainsley and Daniella Silva and Ken Dilanian

Posted on 10/22/2018 2:51:53 PM PDT by tcrlaf

A caravan of thousands of Honduran migrants is headed north in hopes of crossing the U.S. border. You may have heard some scary things about it. What's true and what's false? Here are five allegations bouncing around the internet that are definitely "alternative facts."

MYTH 1: It's being funded by Democrats.

Trump said at a campaign rally on Thursday that "a lot of money has been passing to people" traveling north from Honduras. A Republican from Florida, Rep. Matt Gaetz shared a short video that Trump later promoted of migrants being given cash and suggested that they were being funded by left-leaning activist and investor George Soros.

THE FACTS: There is no evidence the caravan is being led by anyone other than Hondurans.

It’s from Major Sleaze News, the official mouth organ for the American Communist Party. What would you expect?

MSM comes out to say it is NOT being funded by Democrats. This, to me, confirms it. “Me thinks thou doth protest too much”

This is the MSM-Soros-DNC-Directed Invasion of America.

It is a civil war using foreigners.

Kavanaugh assaulted Ford was a myth too.

Soros is funding the “Caravan” at least has the advantage of being true.

What a bunch of garbage. Someone has to be funding this mob (I refuse to call it a caravan). Just because they have no “evidence” doesn’t mean it is not happening. Who is feeding this mob? Where are they sleeping? How are their hygiene needs being met? And who passed out the $$? Why don’t they investigate that? And as for criminals being intermixed, didn’t they arrest 100 ISIS members in Guatemala right before the invasion was organized? This is not a coincidence. This horde is growing by the day and who knows how many will be at our borders by the time it arrives.

Myth #1: They're all foreigners.

Fact: They're all US citizens who've lost their passports.

So how are these people eating? A vacation costs a bunch in food alone, and these people are walking*.

“Federal court decisions and international asylum law dictate many rules hamstringing Trump’s wishes”

We can back out of international asylum law.

Why We Need to Get Out From Under the “Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees”, and How

“Article 23
public relief
The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the same treatment with respect to public relief and assistance as is accorded to their nationals.”

The illegals have learned to ask for asylum. It blocks their deportation and might get them welfare to boot.

Giving them welfare corrupts their political minds from the very start.

To get the United States out of this highly abused treaty now clogging our courts and detention facilities, Republicans, while they still control Congress, need to invoke Article 44:

“Article 44 denunciation
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations....”

I've noticed that the media is not even investigating stories on their own now, they are now basically fact-checking Trump. And even then, most of the time, they twist the facts to say he's wrong, or simply give up and call it "inconclusive".

We live in the worst age of journalism, ever.

1. It is DEMOCRAT immigration policies that caused this
2. It is led by a socialist - so it might as well be a DEMOCRAT
3. The number used is misstated and the group has been joined many others and the number is now well over 10,000 not 4,000 and the organizers are claiming it will be 50,000 or more.
4. Refugees don’t get to pick where they go.
5. Blaming this on Trump and Congress when it is DEMONRATS that do the sanctuary city crap is a lie of omission if nothing else

There 5 truths about this debacle

So who is paying the transportation costs? 7,000 people walking 1,800 miles at 25 miles a day. Don’t make me laugh. Of course they are being bussed.

I’m hearing reports from knowledgeable acquaintances that the caravan was organized by the leftist government of Honduras aided by financing from Venezuela and that China is assisting Venezuela in that regard. That the folks in the caravan were paid to be in the caravan up front.

That this is on the news in Honduras and Venezuela but the US media won’t report.

Funny thing is, that Trump is right most of the time. Who beleves anything you say anyway. Soros is surely behind this stunt.

I’m sure there are criminals mixed in.

Bringing these criminals into the USA will make both Honduras and the USA unsafe.

They never learn.

DJT is baiting them AGAIN... if he says it, then they deny it to the death... and then the MSM tries to dodge the actual facts and evidence of financial transfers that TRUMP already KNOWS have been transacted...

Russia russia russia... no no no... and then it drips drips drips out.... NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUSSIA COLLUSION...

Later rinse repeat.

Liars lie.

THE FACTS: There is no evidence the caravan is being led by anyone other than Hondurans.

This is the talking point Democrats use on everything they are guilty on. Lanny Davis was a master of it when dismissing all the Clinton scandals "...there is not a scintilla of evidence {blah,blah,blah}...". When they say this, they are guilty, because they've already planned to cover up the evidence and then deny it exists...it's their modus operandi.
